PIANO BASICS REVIEW

Piano Basics Review
1. Understanding the Piano Keyboard
Keys: The piano keyboard consists of 88 keys, including 52 white keys and 36 black keys. The white keys represent natural notes (C, D, E, F, G, A, B), while the black keys are sharp and flat notes.
Octaves: The keyboard is divided into octaves, each consisting of 12 keys (7 white and 5 black). Each octave contains the same sequence of notes, just at different pitches.
Practice Tips
Start Slowly: Begin with a slow tempo to ensure accuracy in notes and rhythms. Gradually increase the speed as you become more comfortable.
Use a Metronome: A metronome helps keep a steady tempo and improve timing.
Regular Practice: Consistent practice, even if short, is more effective than occasional long sessions.
